Amsterdam weekend guide // 10 tips for January 17, 18 & 19

HELLO WEEKEND! I am so happy to see you. A wonderful weekend during which we have not made any plans (yet) and you can for sure find me at one of the tips from this new weekend guide. I always find it bizarre how quickly you lose that festive feeling once you have started working in the new year. While we were still starting up a bit slow last week, this week we are already going for it full force. I planned the trip to South Africa at the end of February in detail, spontaneously booked two more tickets to Bangkok and we decided that we will be touring Western Canada with a camper next summer. Last week we toured the entire city to visit new hotspots. A new year full of new openings that I am really looking forward to. And last week the Michelin stars were also given out. In short: never a dull moment in the city and you can now read the best tips in this new Amsterdam Weekend Guide for January 17, 18 & 19. Have fun!
